[1] Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. [2] I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. [3] But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. [4] This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage, [5] to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you. [6] But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me, [7] but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised— [8] for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles— [9] and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision. [10] They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do. [11] But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned. [12] For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. [13] And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. [14] But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do? [15] “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners, [16] yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. [17] But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! [18] For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. [19] For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. [20] I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me. [21] I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
King James Version
[1] Then G1899 fourteen G1180 years G2094 after G1223 I went up G305 again G3825 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 with G3326 Barnabas, G921 and took G4838 Titus G5103 with G4838 me also. G2532 [2] And G1161 I went up G305 by G2596 revelation, G602 and G2532 communicated G394 unto them G846 that G3588 gospel G2098 which G3739 I preach G2784 among G1722 the G3588 Gentiles, G1484 but G1161 privately G2596§ G2398 to them which G3588 were of reputation, G1380 lest G3361 by any means G4458 I should run, G5143 or G2228 had run, G5143 in G1519 vain. G2756 [3] But G235 neither G3761 Titus, G5103 who G3588 was with G4862 me, G1698 being G5607 a Greek, G1672 was compelled G315 to be circumcised: G4059 [4] and G1161 that because of G1223 false brethren G5569 unawares brought in, G3920 who G3748 came in privily G3922 to spy out G2684 our G2257 liberty G1657 which G3739 we have G2192 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 that G2443 they might bring G2615 us G2248 into bondage: G2615 [5] to whom G3739 we gave place G1502 by subjection, G5292 no, not G3761 for G4314 an hour; G5610 that G2443 the G3588 truth G225 of the G3588 gospel G2098 might continue G1265 with G4314 you. G5209 [6] But G1161 of G575 these who G3588 seemed G1380 to be G1511 somewhat, G5100 (whatsoever G3697 G4218 they were, G2258 it maketh G1308 no G3762 matter G1308 to me: G3427 God G2316 accepteth G2983 no G3756 man’s G444 person:) G4383 for G1063 they who G3588 seemed G1380 to be somewhat in conference added G4323 nothing G3762 to me: G1698 [7] but G235 contrariwise, G5121 when they saw G1492 that G3754 the G3588 gospel G2098 of the G3588 uncircumcision G203 was committed unto me, G4100 as G2531 the gospel of the G3588 circumcision G4061 was unto Peter; G4074 [8] (for G1063 he that G3588 wrought effectually G1754 in Peter G4074 to G1519 the apostleship G651 of the G3588 circumcision, G4061 the same was mighty G1754 in me G1698 toward G1519 the G3588 Gentiles:) G1484 [9] and G2532 when G1097 James, G2385 Cephas, G2786 and G2532 John, G2491 who G3588 seemed G1380 to be G1511 pillars, G4769 perceived G1097 the G3588 grace G5485 that G3588 was given G1325 unto me, G3427 they gave G1325 to me G1698 and G2532 Barnabas G921 the right hands G1188 of fellowship; G2842 that G2443 we G2249 should go unto G1519 the G3588 heathen, G1484 and G1161 they G846 unto G1519 the G3588 circumcision. G4061 [10] Only G3440 they would that G2443 we should remember G3421 the G3588 poor; G4434 the same G846 G5124 which G3739 I G4704 also G2532 was forward G4704 to do. G4160 [11] But G1161 when G3753 Peter G4074 was come G2064 to G1519 Antioch, G490 I withstood G436 him G846 to G2596 the face, G4383 because G3754 he was to be blamed. G2607 G2258 [12] For G1063 before that G4253 certain G5100 came G2064 from G575 James, G2385 he G4906 did eat G4906 with G3326 the G3588 Gentiles: G1484 but G1161 when G3753 they were come, G2064 he withdrew G5288 and G2532 separated G873 himself, G1438 fearing G5399 them which G3588 were of G1537 the circumcision. G4061 [13] And G2532 the G3588 other G3062 Jews G2453 dissembled G4942 likewise G2532 with him; G846 insomuch that G5620 Barnabas G921 also G2532 was carried away G4879 with their G846 dissimulation. G5272 [14] But G235 when G3753 I saw G1492 that G3754 they walked G3716 not G3756 uprightly G3716 according to G4314 the G3588 truth G225 of the G3588 gospel, G2098 I said G2036 unto Peter G4074 before G1715 them all, G3956 If G1487 thou, G4771 being G5225 a Jew, G2453 livest G2198 after the manner of Gentiles, G1483 and G2532 not G3756 as do the Jews, G2452 why G5101 compellest thou G315 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 to live as do the Jews? G2450 [15] We G2249 who are Jews G2453 by nature, G5449 and G2532 not G3756 sinners G268 of G1537 the Gentiles, G1484 [16] knowing G1492 that G3754 a man G444 is G1344 not G3756 justified G1344 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law, G3551 but G1437 G3361 by G1223 the faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 even G2532 we G2249 have believed G4100 in G1519 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that G2443 we might be justified G1344 by G1537 the faith G4102 of Christ, G5547 and G2532 not G3756 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law: G3551 for G1360 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 shall G1344 no G3756 G3956 flesh G4561 be justified. G1344 [17] But G1161 if, G1487 while we seek G2212 to be justified G1344 by G1722 Christ, G5547 we G2147 ourselves G846 also G2532 are found G2147 sinners, G268 is therefore G687 Christ G5547 the minister G1249 of sin? G266 God forbid. G3361 G1096 [18] For G1063 if G1487 I build G3618 again G3825 the things G5023 which G3739 I destroyed, G2647 I make G4921 myself G1683 a transgressor. G3848 [19] For G1063 I G1473 through G1223 the law G3551 am dead G599 to the law, G3551 that G2443 I might live G2198 unto God. G2316 [20] I am crucified G4957 with Christ: G5547 nevertheless G1161 I live; G2198 yet not G3765 I, G1473 but G1161 Christ G5547 liveth G2198 in G1722 me: G1698 and G1161 the life which G3739 I G2198 now G3568 live G2198 in G1722 the flesh G4561 I live G2198 by G1722 the G3588 faith G4102 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God, G2316 who G3588 loved G25 me, G3165 and G2532 gave G3860 himself G1438 for G5228 me. G1700 [21] I G114 do not G3756 frustrate G114 the G3588 grace G5485 of God: G2316 for G1063 if G1487 righteousness G1343 come by G1223 the law, G3551 then G686 Christ G5547 is dead G599 in vain.
